I too am wondering. He's gone, let's move on. If he was the Devil Incarnate, as some would have, why wallow in it? Put it down to experience, learn from it, but why keep picking the sore? History cannot be rewritten. We can't just ignore it, it's now part of our clubs history and he is still being associated with the club. Rather than shut down the conversation, maybe don't look at the thread? Where did I say rewrite history? Or ignore it?

FFS still droning on, and casting aspersions, when you do not have a clue about Joey; the majority of the herd have moved on, and are not listening to this play ground dross, time for you to move on. UTFG

Ok, let’s set your shirt on fire whilst wearing it and see you laugh and smile about it afterwards 😂. If you want to. I can guarantee I won't stub a cigar out in your eye. Haha! Ok, it’s clearly fine to set people’s clothes on fire! Let’s teach that in schools 🥴. Both of them were d*ckheads… fact.

There is a way of dealing with these things. Stubbing a cigar out in someone's eye is not the way to do it. Even though you are saying he is a dick.head, you are still defending his act by suggesting that he was provoked. Yes, it sounds like he was provoked. Still no excuse to stub a cigar out in someone's eyelid.

He has always been a nasty bastard and this will never change. Who knows why we took him on as manager, the middle east has no morals so perhaps that helped the scouse sh** getting the job. Lock him up and throw away the key, as long as its not a womans prison.

I certainly wouldn't dream of generalising like the above poster, because one man appointed JB, not the whole of the Middle East. But Wael's appointment of JB always mystified me. WAQ has always seemed a decent man with good family and personal values, and why he chose to ignore the blinding warning lights about recruiting that one-man sh!storm is something I will never understand.

Just in some places, they are not the same morals as we adopted.

(2) I am not trying to shut down the conversation, merely commenting on it. (3) What bothers me is that it is counterproductive. It serves no real purpose. It does split the fanbase, which is a shame. In a manner of speaking it makes JB a kind of winner, in that he has a lasting effect on Bristol Rovers.

Perhaps as a decent man he reckoned from a football point of view JB seemed to have the desired credentials and perhaps as a decent man he thought he would give someone with a chequered reputation a chance , I would imagine all the folk with tarnished reputations who have turned their lives around have only been able to do so because someone gave them a chance, it may not always work but it must be very rewarding when it does.

If you've ever had the distinctly unfortunate experience of working in some of the Middle East, you'd think otherwise. Believe me.

If you've ever had the distinctly unfortunate experience of working in some of the Middle East, you'd think otherwise. Believe me. Please add more detail. My understanding is that the Middle East countries do adhere to a code of morals and ethics. The problem being that code of morals and ethics is in direct contrast to the morals and ethics of a non Middle Eastern country. So, those morals and ethics exist, it's just that through our 'lens' it's very different. For the sake of stopping controversy, let's compare the USA. They have the death penalty. Some in the UK would say the death penalty is immoral. In the US, they say it us moral as it is done in a controlled manner. The issue I was pointing out is that there is no one set of morals. Different countries have their set. They are still their morals, even if they don't agree to 'our' (the UK set of morals, whatever that is these days) morals.

That sounds to me like trying to close down the conversation. Apologies if I have missed interpreted. "What bothers me is that it is counterproductive." It would only be counter productive if there are still those in the fan base that respect JB. Hopefully, pointing out the issues that he has been involved in post management at Rovers reduces that number that respects JB. My concern is that there are people that have put JB on a pedestal, still have him there and are ready to pounce if we struggle for the first 5 games next season.

I think that people make up their own minds, rather than being influenced by something on GasChat! MT is in charge now, and I look forward to seeing his squad take shape when the new signings start coming in.

Why are you still defending him, I really don't know. Still doesn’t excuse the bad behaviour of setting someone shirt on fire whilst being worn. I don’t understand why you think that’s acceptable. Madness! Enough now as clearly we have differences of opinions.

I think that people make up their own minds, rather than being influenced by something on GasChat![1] MT is in charge now, and I look forward to seeing his squad take shape when the new signings start coming in.[2] 1. Completely agree that people make up their own minds. They should do that whilst presented with information. That's the point. This threadbis providing information. The addition to the thread is that a judge has ruled what JB has said is defamatory. 2. Yes, you and me both. I think we are at a 'sliding doors' moment in our clubs history. If we don't turn out for the club, we might not have a club to turn out for. If we don't accept not being relegated as a positive outcome from next season, as a club we will 'bottle' the change of focus with regards to revenue generation. So, those that pop up with pro JB rhetoric and I see the "this is boring now" as such then we will be in an even worse situation. If the JB supporters don't sign up to the shift in strategy and stay away or bay for the sacking of MT too early then we will possibly be on the wrong sliding door. We need time to make changes, we need supporters who support. We need fans to sing with gusto "We all made a promise, that we'll never part" and really mean it. Otherwise, we might not have a team to support. 😪

I don’t understand why you think that’s acceptable. Madness! Enough now as clearly we have differences of opinions. Thing is, we ain't talking about the shirt being set on fire (and everything I've read suggests that he tried but didn't succeed) we are talking about the reaction. Whilst you think that stubbing a cigar out in a humans eyelid is justifiable then absolutely, we will not agree. It is just not an acceptable reaction.
